Coach Tab told them to “swim perpendicular to the shoreline” in a rip tide?? That IS against the current. You’re going to tire yourself out and drown. You should swim PARALLEL to the shore and slowly get back in.
🦅Kieffer Alas: “We had meetings before [the Aurora] training that Coach Tab explained about the rip currents and how to get out of a rip. We talked about it a couple of days before. We had a pretty long discussion about it.”

Question: Should the MVP Sports Foundation continue with their financial support for the team?

“Gusto mo bang lumangoy sa maalong dagat sa Aurora?”
“Ayaw. Scared. One big fright.”

EVER SEEN A VERTICAL BILL BEFORE?
The Supreme Court unveiled the design of its commemorative P3000 bill and P125 coin in honor of its 125th anniversary this year.
The front of the bill features former Supreme Court Chief Justice Cayetano Arellano, the first chief justice of the high court, while the back reveals a vertical design with the roster of the previous chief justices, and joined by incumbent Chief Justice Alexander Gesmundo.
According to the Supreme Court, the currencies, which will be available for purchase at the Supreme Court's gift shop, will be legal tender.

Absolutely NOTHING can be lower than this, you clout-chasing little bird.
‘GONE TOO SOON’
Senator Robin Padilla shared photos as he visited the wake of Ateneo de Manila University’s basketball rookie Rene Clert Baterbonia, who drowned during the Blue Eagles’ team-building activity in Aurora.
“The world was his, but gone too soon!” he said on Thursday, wearing a basketball jersey with Baterbonia’s name. (Facebook/Robin Padilla)

Some context: The UAAP Board imposed a UAAP LIFETIME BAN on then UST Tigers head coach Aldin Ayo for violating COVID-19 restrictions since Ayo set up a Sorsogon bubble for the training of the basketball team. UAAP Board argued Ayo exposed the team to a life-threatening situation.

All empty rhetoric.
The very least you need to do:
1. Suspend the coach
2. Conduct a formal and transparent investigation
3. Keep the coach away from all the players and other coaching staff during the investigation
4. Cooperate fully with law enforcement

China's coast guard harasses Filipinos. Philippines documents it. China gets upset when the footage reaches the rest of the world and accuses Manila of "playing the victim."
If you don't want the reputation of a bully, stop behaving like one.

#Editorial:
In recent years, Manila has often portrayed itself internationally as a weak party, playing the victim and repeatedly fabricating narratives of “China bullying the small” and “aggressive maritime law enforcement.” From the way Philippine armed agencies treat vulnerable groups today, we can finally see where the raw material for those stories comes from. globaltimes.cn/page/202606/1…

The message of Rene’s mother to Tab Baldwin and Ateneo:
“Isa lang ang masasabi ko: BAKIT? Kung isinama ninyo kami sa pag-uusap at ipinaalam ninyo sa amin na may ganoon palang uri ng training, kahit mahirap lang kami, hindi ko papayagang sumali roon ang anak ko. Hindi biro ang lahat ng pagsisikap at sakripisyo ng anak ko, tapos ganito na lang ba ang mangyayari sa kanya?
Hanggang ngayon, wala pa ring malinaw at tamang sagot kung bakit nangyari ito. Sana ay masagot ninyo ang lahat ng aming mga tanong at mabigyan kami ng katotohanan at paliwanag na matagal na naming hinihintay.
Hindi ko pa nakita ang katawan ng anak ko hanggang ngayon. Wala pa silang ibinigay na larawan o video sa akin. Kung totoo na talagang wala na ang anak ko at hindi ko rin alam kung nasaan siya.
Napakahirap kapag mahirap ka dahil hindi ka basta-basta makakapunta kung saan-saan para maghanap ng mga sagot. Sino ba ang lalapitan ko? Saan ba ako pupunta upang mabigyan ng malinaw na sagot at malaman ang totoong nangyari sa anak ko?”

I was riding my bike in the city. I had to change lanes. I looked back, saw a large gap behind me at the right. I held my right hand out to signal. But the car behind quickly closed the gap & didn't let me in. "Asshole", I thought. I let it pass, then saw this decal at the back:

DEVELOPING: Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano pushes back against calls for his resignation from the Senate minority, questioning why some senators were already demanding that he step down.
The Solid Bloc 11 accused him of violating Senate rules and urged him to resign over the failure of Monday and Tuesday's session to proceed. | via @hannaaahty, bnc.ph

Imagine mo kung magboycott sa trabaho ang mga doktor, nurse, at iba pang empleyado ng government hospital. Mga walanghiya.
Kung ano man ang ipaparusa sa kanila, dapat pareho din ang parusa sa mga senador na nag-boycott sa trabaho.
Walang pinagkaiba yan.

What has happened to primary & secondary curricula? Are children still making book reports? Are they required to write formal themes? Or that “how I spent my summer vacation” essay? Reading comprehension is one thing, but being able to write is another level of language mastery

Batay sa assessment, higit kalahati ng Grade 11 students ang nangangailangan ng gabay para makapagbasa at halos 13% lamang ang nakababasa nang walang tulong.

It was really old school then. In grade school, we even had American books, because there weren’t enough good locally written science, math, and English books then. We were essentially schooled the post-war American way. But it wasn’t a bad thing for sure.

Whatever is the cause of our children’s poor reading skills, a complete overhaul of the basic curriculum is necessary.
And it doesn’t help at all when our government bureaucrats like appointing non-educators in key positions
